Rhode Island Edges Maine 14-13 in Overtime
One extra point decided this one. Maine scored first in overtime, Samuel Tremblay's kick was blocked, and Rhode Island answered with a touchdown and a good kick. A made extra point for Maine makes it 14-7, and Rhode Island's touchdown only ties it. Instead the Rams won 14-13 and moved to 4-3. Maine fell to 1-6.
For three quarters this was almost nothing. The first points came from Tyson Grimm, who took an interception back 84 yards with 0:32 left in the second quarter, and that was 7-0. It stayed 7-0 through the whole third quarter and into the fourth, until Rashawn Marshall ran 25 yards for a touchdown with 12:48 to play and tied it. Nobody scored after that in regulation.
In overtime, Nick Laughlin scored from a yard out to put Maine up 13-7, with the blocked kick leaving it short of a full touchdown lead. Alex McClelland then found Marquis Buchanan from 25 yards, Ty Groff made the kick, and it was over. Maine outgained Rhode Island 352 yards to 213 and ran 49 times to 34. Rhode Island also lost two fumbles, but it sacked Maine four times (Maine sacked them three), which helps explain how a team with 213 yards survived. Maine threw one interception, and it was the one that got returned for a score.
Fantasy-wise, Buchanan had 9 catches for 107 yards and the winning touchdown, and Marshall ran 25 times for 139 yards on the losing side. Flip that blocked kick and he would have a win to go with it.
